This book is not for the casual casino-goer. The author is a mathematics teacher, and it is obvious. On the plus side, she teaches which hands to play, she discusses different types of video poker games and says which ones offer better chances of payouts for large and small bankrolls, and she teaches the betting strategies and the different types of casinos and games. The detachable, foldable, and very easy to use Strategy Cards, which are included at the back of the book, are worth the price of the book.
